Distinctive Destination - Vote!

Welcome to Downtown Marquette

Downtown Marquette is Lake Superior's gateway to the rustic splendor of Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula. Historic brownstone buildings, trees, benches and street lamps line Washington and Front Streets providing a picturesque setting anytime of year.

Downtown is a charming district providing a treasure trove of delightfully unique clothing and gift shops, boutiques, galleries, museums, professional services and Gourmet Dining. The rich culinary history of the region can be experienced at these fine restaurants located in our Downtown. Select from eclectic menus that feature fresh whitefish and trout, steaks, pasta, wood grilled pizza, sandwiches and ethnic specialties, as well as coffee, muffins and sweets.

Lingering after hours enjoy the variety of entertainment options all within walking distance. Whether chatting over fine wine, sampling locally brewed beer or dancing to live music, Downtown Marquette provideds a delightful place to gather for visitors and locals!
